Real motocross! Real track. Real works bikes. Real hero’s!
Pure gold!
Just look at at those off cambers and how rough it was!!! Brilliant. So much talent in this video, an entire gate full of racing icons.
🤯🙏

I was at this race, I was 17, me and my buddy came up from So. Cal. to see this.
I raced a RM Suzuki 125 in 1977, every Friday night at Indian Dunes. (So, Cal, race track) I always loved this natural track...I miss the 70's.

REMEMBER DRIVING BY THERE IN THE EARLY 70'S.MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD GO BY AND SEE THEM RACING.

This is a real motocross track , that’s cool seeing this I was there in 77 and have still pictures

Thankful I got to race Sears Point AHRMA 125 Classic Expert on my 1973 Husqvarna,,,, with my brother Larry Roberts racing Preimer Lightweight  on his CZ 175. Classic landscape for epic racing. Thank you Heavenly Father for keeping me safe.

Thank you , started riding at sears point at 13 years old . Going to the trans am was a huge deal for us.  We would go the night before. Then come back the next weekend to ride the parts of the track they didn't shut down. I'm 57 now , just thinking about my youth .... also magoo rock on Danny cya someday  🙏

I used to go to all of the TRANS-AMA races at Carnegie Cycle Park in Livermore before they headed to Sears Point in '77
I also was at the District AMA races at Sears Point watching Danny "Magoo" Chandler and Ron Self riding Penton/KTM's for Dirt Factory as privateers and literally walking away from motos after the first turn, riding wheelies all the way down the front straightaway.
Thank You so much for this footage Jeff Clawson!
Incredible memories!!!

Me and a friend were there in ‘76 when I was 14. His dad was working a side job on that Sunday, so he dropped us off on the highway at 7am, picked us up at 5. First time seeing the pros and all our hero’s. Awesome natural terrain track too. Great memory.

Those guys were freaking GNARLY. They were riding FASTER in the second race than the first. And Lackey with that GP riding, took out Smith and scared the crap out of Hannah, restored his cage. But Hurricane was a beast.
Those were the days.

I remember they interviewed Tommy Croft between motos and asked him about the improvements Honda had made in the bikes and instead of describing the difference he just said "yeah last year the bikes were like reeee reeee and this year they're like bwaaaaw bwaaaw..."  It was golden.

Absolutely a great video with subtitles (commentary) and just the right length(lol) Loved this era of MX! Natural terrain tracks, the bikes were getting better every year, and the rider competition was better!

Love the natural track

This is Awesome,I went to my 1st race Ever Here in 1980 ! Then Raced here in 2007 & Met Lackey ! He Put the Race on like 2-3 yrs in a row,then Met Brad Again in 2015-16-17 & 18 at a Special Race in Marysville 🦾🤑👽🔥🏁

I saw all these guys at the Puyallup, Washington race that same season. There were so many great riders back then. Huge race teams and at least 10 guys that could win on any given day. Thanks for the memories.

Rad JC. That uphill n downhill was steeper than it looks.

Fantastic! Probably the best footage I’ve seen from this great era.🔥

That was the nuts, everything perfect 👌 thanks 🙏

Glory Days of MX..

Now 70, I was there that day !
As well as the day that Darrell won !!!

Sears Point originally designed the track.  Sonoma County Sports Cycle Association ran the races.   Ernie Cabral had then move the fences out to make a wider track.  Also had them go up and down the hill and do the off camber side hill.  Natural track.
